Miracle or Coincidence? Tim Tebow and the Famous John 3:16 (HD VERSION)

[ToaRanen7]

I wonder if Matt Prater has something going on for him, because I'm pretty sure it was this game that twice he punted the ball and it hit the field goal post then bounced right at the 20 yard line. Real ironic if you understand football.

[ToaRanen7]

Yeah! Tebow Time!

Me and my family have almost always been Broncos fans, and way back we were excited when they drafted Tim Tebow because we knew he was a great quarterback and an outspoken Christian. And although we were no longer living in Colorado as of last year, we were still one of the ones rooting for him to start. I've seen numerous unbelievably close games, and was really excited when they beat the Stealers, and very disappointed when they lost to the Patriots, but glad when they lost.

[deboraheuniceayaay]

wow! thanks for the video! this video is truly amazing. Tim Tebow is such a faithful and brave person for showing His faith in Jesus Christ! He made a public profession of faith and this leads other unbelievers to believe the Gospel too, or at least have the chance to hear and believe it! I hope I also have the courage like Tim Tebow, the courage to shout to the world that Jesus is my only Lord and Savior! I pray that I would be a blessing to millions of people too! Praise God for TIM TEBOW!

[Littleguyintheeye]

If you're interested I looked into this issue further and found an amazing picture of the Gospel in this game. If you're interested google Shadows of Messiah: Tim Tebow 316 Yards or email me at littleguyintheeye@gmail.com

[christysgoodlife]

Amazing story. Thanks for putting this together!

[dmhtuber]

@josephjmusic1 Motive is the key and in your case with the example of a pharisee praying on the street corner, his motive is to be seen by men so that he will be considered holy. This is not the motive of Tim Tebow, I would suggest to you. He is simply giving thanks to God for all things, not trying to appear holy or holier than thou. You should examine your own heart. Maybe the devil has you right where he wants you?

[randellmd]

@josephjmusic1 Well the owner of the Patriots is Jewish so maybe G-D decided to shine down on them. Your conclusions are insidious.

[TCPRadio]

I notice whenever I hear people talk about Tim Tebow, there are some people out there who seem to have this blind hatred for him... It's pretty sad to see that from people including even my parents :(

[Ogram1000]

Gospel is found 1Cor15

1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[JKinder313]

No man but Jesus carried the message of God's Love to the world... He's just a man. Coincidence or not, it makes no difference. If it's coincidence, that doesn't disprove God. He's only a man and there's bound to be miraculous number connections.

[Ctkroucamp]

It is high time the body of Christ stop arguing and start preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. The world is more lost everyday, but all the Christians seems to do, is criticize and try to find fault with each other. This thing ought not to be. Instead of looking for errors in other people's lives, let us start reexamining our own walks with the Lord and try to used the dying moments of this world to minister to someone who desperately needs Jesus. May the Lord Jesus be glorified.

[ThePunisher026]

He just became my most favorite quarterback

[intrepidorator]

@josephjmusic1 UMM I think that you might be missing the point of that passage. God said not to pray on the street corners TO be seen of men. The point was not to do it for the purpose of being seen by other people. If Tebow is only doing it for show, then he is sinning. But it is not a sin to pray in public as long as the purpose is spiritual and not just to APPEAR spiritual.

[wisdomthruknowledge]

Mr Simmons, My reply was not to dispute anything in the film nor in anyone comment, my reply was just that a reply. Any one who truely has a relationship with God, know's that there is NO magic on volved in what God does, and I believe you know this, I was just stating facts not to bring confusion to anyone especially an nonbeliever, but I did not want them to get the wrong impression of God. That was all my attempt was for, because of some of the comment's that I was reading, God Bless my Bro.

[ppsimmons]

@wisdomthruknowledge - OK, great! We just thought that you had those problems with our vid - when clearly our vid did not address those matters. Thanks for the explanation. God bless.

[Justasimpleservant74]

I Live in Pittsburgh and a Steelers fan.........BUT THIS WAS AWSOME!!!! GO JESUS!!!!

[acts1614]

Amazing things God will do through a person who's heart is perfect toward him. The Bible is filled with unusual things happening. This wasn't for the sake of the saved, but for those who do not know our God, sending another reminder from God: I'm here and I love you! And for those who are saved, God wants to do unusual things through you to in YOUR circle of influence so that those who are unsaved looks at you and say: who is this God you serve? God is so cool!

[majorl311]

@josephjmusic1God said not to pray for the wrong motives to be seen by men to be a fake but God did not say that to do it for real motives was wrong it is all about the motives not the act!

[ppsimmons]

@josephjmusic1 - The video does not claim that "God helps Tebow win." We were just pointing out the way that God is using Tim as a witness to His Word. Win or Lose - Tim is being powerfully used of God - THAT is the point here. Sorry you missed it.

PPSIMMONS

[WilliamTyndale1]

@josephjmusic1 This seems to be the favorite (misapplied) passage of "christians" (little c) who are upset with Tebow because he makes them feel uncomfortable for hiding their light under the proverbial bushel.

Just keep that Christ-thing/mental virus to yourself man, no need to in any way influence a lost and dying world on their way to eternal damnation, etc. and so forth.

Talk about putting God in a box and making him your bellhop...

[dfcoinc]

big thumbs up from one of your jewish subs!

[wisdomthruknowledge]

Coinsidence, or what? What Tim has is not magic, what Tim has is a REAL Relationship with the one and only True God. But, I don't believe that God favor one person from another. God Love's ALL of us equally, He has no favorites, at least he hasn't favored me, And I Love Jesus as much as Tim, I believe. I also believe that Tim isn't the only Christian playing Football, and on different teams, so I do not think Tim has anything over any other Christian Player. The only difference is he shows it.

[ppsimmons]

@wisdomthruknowledge - Nothing that you disputed here is represented in this video. The ONLY point of the video is that God is USING Tim Tebow to exalt His Word. Win or lose - good times or bad. No claims were made about magic or whether Tim loves Jesus more than anyone else or whether God is "favoring" him more than others or that Tim is the ONLY player in the NFL who loves the Lord. None of those issues were addressed. Hope this clears up a few things for you. Blessings.

PPSIMMONS

[dmhtuber]

@wisdomthruknowledge The only difference is faith. It is impossible to please God without faith and faith without works is dead. He simply believes and trusts God. God honors faith and there are many Christians who have faith, but alas, it's dead faith.

[GodisTruthseekTruth]

If you pray to God because you love Him, it is a good thing anywhere anytime.

[TGAngelLSVonTails490]

Yup!, I didn't know this before.

[Thomas1971AU]

ALSO, this game occurred around the Epiphany observation. The Epiphany that I have in mind began to be recognized officially in AD 361 as a commemoration of the birth of Christ...it is the most ancient version. Of course, the " modern Epiphany " includes the Magi, but we know from the study of the original Greek that Jesus was a toddler at the time the Magi arrived. : )

[GordieEggleston]

@josephjmusic1 Please note that Jesus was not saying NOT to pray in public or ONLY to pray in your closet. (And don't assume that Tim Tebow does not pray in private).

Jesus' emphasis was on "to be seen of men"...and I personally don't believe Tebow is a hypocrite in his public thanksgiving.

Just as he wanted to preach the gospel in high school by putting Scripture verses on his uniform,

or in college by putting a reference on his eye-blacks,

as a pro he seeks to preach through his actions.

[fltmike]

The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.

~ Psalm 29:11, NLT

[ChristianChannel1]

@josephjmusic1, Tim is giving God the credit in public because he wants to be a good testimony for Christ. Tim is not ashamed to give thanks to God (in public) for his God given talents. That is not being self righteous. That is being a strong man for God.

[shebuel7]

Way to go, Tim! Glad we're on the same team - God's!

[bladenx48]

when your heart is that close to god, yes you will be heard, i liken it to a whole bunch of sheep all together thousands grazing and one, just one looks up, and the almighty says thats the i want

one can make the biggist differance,

[painterinoil]

Tim Tebow is truly an American Hero!!

[paulgem123]

We can't forget about Reggie White (a hall of fame foot ball legend) and his dedication to Truth and the Bible. He died a few years back but his story is amazing. There are several videos on youtube

[OKKix]

@josephjmusic1 - It's really too bad you don't know as much about the Bible as you think you do. Have you forgotten about the instructions that we are also to shine our light so that the world can see it or that we are to share the gospel message with the world? Tim Tebow is merely letting his light shine and sharing the gospel message. Oh, and I have serious doubts that he would cast such judgement on your for hiding yours under a basket or in a closet.

[GermanConquistador08]

Soccer has a lot of guys like this. Ricardo dos Santos Leite, known as Kaka, did some amazing things like wearing a shirt with the words "Jesus loves you" in the front and back during International football matches.

[ChildOTheCloth]

@josephjmusic1 "Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partakers of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God."...Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle and a teacher unto the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless, I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." II Tim1:8,11-12

[Thomas1971AU]

@josephjmusic1 Don't you DARE take that out of context ! Tim doesn't pray to be in public to be "seen of men". Quit talking out of the side of your neck. ... Sir, the ***context*** of that verse was to pontificate that negative and boastful prayer in a Pharisaical manner is BAD FORM, it doesn't outlaw verbal prayer in public...not at all. I advise you to read your Bible! Study it, and pay. I'm a theologian of sorts, I can help you understand.

[Thomas1971AU]

I goofed, my mistake ! My comment should have read; [ Tim doesn't pray in public to be "seen of men". ] And, YES...LMBO, ... ( "PAY" ) should say ( "PRAY" ) . ... I hope this clears up any confusion that I may have caused....although tithing will be blessed !!

[beckabecks]

@josephjmusic1 It is the media who made Tebow's prayers public, thinking to tie a tongue-in-cheek article about prayer to the win(s) he's had. The fact Tebow has kept on winning with "miracle" passes has put his prayers even more in the spotlight. Do not confuse the heart of Tebow with the fickle media. He did not make the prayers public - the media noticed - and God used Tebow for His glory, to reach MILLIONS of ppl and get them to look up the truth of John 3:16 for themselves.

[7777Ralph]

@josephjmusic1

The part about Christianity that I think we both know that you don't like is not John 3:16, but one that comes only two verses after it which is John 3:18. This is the distain that the unbelieving world has against Christianity and Christ. This is regardless of whether you are readily familiar with that verse it not, the explanation still applies.

[caromegan1]

@escapingplatoscave if your a proffesional & praying for a promotion, & you get one, should I say God should be concerned about the sick & needy, & do better things than grant you a promotion??????.....Jerk!!!!!!­!!!!!1

[escapingplatoscave]

@caromegan1 Is God a magical genie? If an amputee prays for a leg and doesn't get one but a professional millionaire football player prays for a win and gets one, it's God doing it?

[ChristiansofAsia]

Jesus cares!

[carltonsue1]

@josephjmusic1 this is the verse the atheists are using against Tim because he doesn't want to word to get out. When Jesus healed a sick person on the Sabbath day the pharisees complained about that too. You shouldn't get stuck on one verse. God is getting the glory here

[escapingplatoscave]

@josephjmusic1 I agree with you. This is vanity. God doesn't care about Football. He cares about the poor and the people suffering, not sports players who make millions of dollars throwing a ball around.

[hiddenpilgrum]

@escapingplatoscave actually...God cares about everybody. That's why Jesus died. For ALL. Can't we all just be happy our Lord is getting attention and glory through this? Geez, cut Tebow some slack, he's just a christian praising the Lord like us, God bless him.

[ppsimmons]

@josephjmusic1 - PLEASE, Mr. Pharisee - turn off your "haterator." Geeeee.

Did you actually go back and READ what you wrote? Just wondering.

[candiceevans1]

Yehoshua is trying to get your attention,,,time is running out,,,Repent and believe the Gospel

[biggamerjh1]

If I may voice my opinion I feel that this is a coincidence, don't get me wrong I have no issue at all with Tebow except that I find him to be a tad over rated.

But if this were a miracle couldn't god go bigger?

[kenkosh3]

Too many coincidences to be just "coincidental" I love My Lord, and although I don't understand why there is suffering in other lands, starving children, retardation, diseases, I surely won't question his will. I myself would rather starve to death than to abandon the word. I do have one question though for anybody who cares to answer. Is the NIV Bible really that bad ? I use it, it gets the point accross, and when I rented Interlinear Bibles, they weren't much different. Burn it or not ? lol

[ppsimmons]

@kenkosh3 - No, do not burn the NIV. The KJV, The New KJV, the NAS and the NIV are some of the very best translations of the original lanugages Word of God - we are blessed to have them. The topic of the KJV vs. NIV is complex and too long to discuss here. We do have a vid about the KJV ONLY movement, though. It may answer many of your questions. The NIV is a studious, reliable, accurate translation of the Bible. Use it, read it, share it, preach it, teach it and enjoy it. God bless.

[carltonsue1]

@kenkosh3 the word is getting out about Jesus Christ. People are knowing Jesus Christ from interest in Tim Tebow. Souls are being saved and that is the difference.

[SuperGuitarman69]

Tim Tebow really is a great person.. In spite of all of the negativity around his Christianity, he says nothing and continues to glorify God.. That says a lot about his character.

[hangingaround87]

Amazing, simply amazing....

[fellowservant34]

Tim Tebow is such an inspiration.

[gweems828]

cool



[sheikzelda]

Beautiful

[AikenBruce]

Rugby is the game they play in Heaven.

[1140Cecile]

Well, it's obviously Jesus and not his dad, Yahweh, who is helping out Tebow. The very idea of holding and throwing and carrying a pigskin is an abomination to Yahweh as it is made from an unclean animal. St. Paul, however, was pretty good at relaxing all the Old Testament holy laws as given to Moses by the Lord, so a ball made from the skin of a pig...eh...no big deal.

[ppsimmons]

@1140Cecile - LOL! Funny stuff.

[shovelniron]

@1140Cecile actully if you read what Jesus said to the phariees he claimed that He is the I AM, the God of the old Testament... the same God that spoke to Moses in the burning bush the same God that led Abraham.... the verse went something like this..."Abraham looked forward to My day and rejoiced. They replied how do you know Abraham you are only ___ years old, and Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, before Abraham I AM.... we all know who the I Am is in the old testament...

[omniguard1]

@1140Cecile Yeshua rode a donkey; men of renown (from the Bible) have used and rode horses and camels - all unclean animals. So what's your point? Shaul relaxed nothing of the OT. Only the relaxed minds of men who do not understand Shaul's difficult writings twist it to their desires.

[FreakShizzlez]

@endgamex That's natural selection for you. "Survival of the fittest" at its finest ;)

Speaking as a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan, nothing would make me happier than to see the Broncos beat my Packers in the Super Bowl. Tebow is making me a Broncos fan.

Thank you jesus Glory to the most high

Halo is Pagan btw...

[Anon1913]

Truly amazing!

[TacticalPie]

@Thomas1971AU Thank you so much. You are just...I dunno really nice God Bless! Ill get right on it!

[Thomas1971AU]

@TacticalPie You bet! Detractors have faith that God doesn't exist, but you have faith that he does. Nonbelievers must work hard to make themselves credible, so sometimes they are jealous of the peace that the believer has, and this is why they deny God. Dismissing the supernatural realm and the idea of God the creator make absolutely no logical sense! To stare into outer-space and claim that humankind is the most superior being is INSANITY! You made the right choice! Hoooray !

[TheClubMantra]

I'm not sold on Tim. He's not the 1st NFL Player, coach or WWE (Steve Austin) to openly express his faith. By the time Hollyweird gets done Branding Tebow, they'll turn a saint into a sinner...Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson, Beyonce, former Christian singers. Elisabeth Hasselbek claims to be a Christian, but she appeared on Jimmy Fallen last night wearing a dress showing all her thigh and fishnet stocking, looking more like a hooker.

[InventorGorilla]

We serve an amazing Lord! We all should be humbled by this, not proud. And the best way to honor Tim, is to give ALL glory to God!

[Thomas1971AU]

@TacticalPie @TacticalPie @TacticalPie I encourage you to read the book of John...not John 1 and John 2, but the book of John. It takes around an hour or so reading it straight through. I'd follow up with Luke, and that one will take a bit longer to read. You will understand...I promise! Scripture is God breathed, and with your sincere spirit, there is no doubt you will be supernaturally hugged as you read it.

[OneLaBonBon]

I hadn't heard of the halo effect after the game. How incredible! God bless you, Tim, and best of luck this weekend and beyond.

[Thomas1971AU]

@TacticalPie I'm glad you believe in Jesus, because he is the most wrote about and documented in World history. The life of Jesus is chronicled in FAR more books than in the Bible. All beliefs can't be all right, and I'm glad to see that you believe in Jesus because the only way to heaven is through Him! Jesus says so himself in John 14:6.

[Thomas1971AU]

@TacticalPie Doubt is a part of faith, no worries! When we look into space, it goes on to infinity. When the scientist looks into the microscope, they are always discovering smaller and smaller matter...I say what's in the microscope goes to infinity too!

[Thomas1971AU]

@voiceofelijah2012 If God were to reveal Himself in fullness, we would become powder and blow away. ...

[Thomas1971AU]

@voiceofelijah2012 God is about revealing His presence to show his glory. ... We really don't want God to stick his head through the sky and say wassssup. Until we cross over into His realm, God will reveal Himself through epiphany, wrapping his presence and intertwining His Holy Spirit in our lives.

[GodisTruthseekTruth]

God is so cool!

[Thomas1971AU]

The names of the refs were Luke, Matthew, and Paul. ... LOL !

[kiki7772001]

awesome God , thank you.

[WORRO01]

Never watched ball games myself(odd American that I am LOL) but this is one good story! God gets the praise!

[kiki7772001]

Tebow is Gods man to reach the sports world for Yeshua . I feel that God is making himself known to so many people so they will believe and be saved. What an awesome God who will go to such lengths to offer people salvation.

[kiki7772001]

This is so uplifting in todays world, Tebow is bring Gods light into this world. Another inspiring story was featured on fox news two teenagers in charge of putting the year book together rejected a young girls photo because of the in appropriate nature of the photo for a school year book. They asked the girl to submitt another one but the second one was also to revealing so the girls sold her parents a space in her specific album the kids were behind the girls decision not to inculed it.

[kiki7772001]

I think Tebow is awesome! God is using him to reach people that regular church goers could never reach. Plus he is a wonderfull role model for young people. Go Tebow!

[voiceofelijah2012]

Until Tim Tebow preaches that sinners need to repent, until Tim Tebow renounces his involvement in a system which lifts up alcoholism, half naked cheerleaders and drunkeness then he's simply a talented pig skin thrower. Where's the same logic to the hundreds of prisoners in iran and n. korea who are suffering for their faith? This is americanized christianity at its worst. Tebow did a half naked layout in GQ, was that Godly?

[SuperWilliam2424]

@voiceofelijah2012 ~ 100% agree! :) It Seems Fishy! Maybe next the ILL-umi-Naughty set him up like the whole Tiger Woulds disaster?? Then they can really Blast Christianity? Hmm?

[ionacaddy]

Great video! It's nice to see that people who might never have been exposed to the word of God get some interest, enough to look up John 3:16 anyway, and a very important piece of scripture I might add. Thanks!

[psxwarrior]

Man I might start watching football because of this. JESUS CHRIST FOREVER!!!

[MaxxTheMerciless]

@psxwarrior Heh, the Lord works in mysterious ways.

[EagleZtoTheGrave]

Timmy T!!! Glad God is using a good brother in Christ for one of my favorite things: Football. That's just a game though, pushing the kingdom and living a God glorifying life is 1st. Good job Tim. Been following his carrer for awhile, does my heart good to see him doing good.

[Thomas1971AU]

If you add the score 29 to 23 ------> 2 + 9 + 2 + 3 = 16. ... Although a part of the Bible passage is the " factor " , the result and the factor are right next to each other! REMEMBER folks, the Bible wasn't originally indexed with numbers ! God knew the Bible would be canonized correctly someday, and he though of that day with Tim Tebow ! God is having fun reveling his glory, His dream of dwelling with humankind once again is real !

[PrincesseJen]

I love Tim Tebow and I don't even like football. lol

[jarbon5]

It can be said that the happenings in this game were coincidental, but seeing how John 3:16 was all over this game, it would not be farfetched to say those happenings was miraculous through and through!

[Thomas1971AU]

@jarbon5 Yeah, you can't deny it. God knows exact stuff gets our attention!

[jarbon5]

@Thomas1971AU That is so true!

[Thomas1971AU]

: ) I love it! Numbers, oh my goodness...God loves numbers because they are so exact, and ..when God speaks to us, sometimes he uses numbers, and it gets attention! You can't deny the way those numbers showed up in that game....ha ha....do the math !

[YhwhKhaiMostHigh]

Just another Christian for the atheist to hate upon!

[machinedean100]

Tim Tebow should play for the Bengals.

[machinedean100]

No Way!

[Thomas1971AU]

@machinedean100 Yes way !

[bslinkymi112]

i was amazed by the stats from the game alone at first, then i saw the halo and i am still stunned by that. even if there was some explanation for it, it still appeared in the same place on the same day of that game. that all meant something.

[BeautifulOceann]

Wow. Glory to the Most High

[Genesis21Six]

Awesome......



[Andytheantiathiest]

On atheist hate tebow.

lol

[PatriotEyes]

What a blessing; if we had more people like Tim (popular) to show G-ds love for the world perhaps we in the U.S would have been in a much better place economically and otherwise; that is if people would turn from their wicked ways and stop sinning. G-d is LOVE, but He is also a CONSUMING FIRE Deuteronomy 4:24.

[karozans]

LOL. This truly is wonderful. The atheist and Christian hating trolls are so furious right now they can't even see straight.

Praise God.

[HearTheTrumpetCall]

The Lord is surely using this man. Yet they say the Lord has not reached out to us. I pray that Tim Tebow keep his faith for they are coming at him hard and once he makes on little stumble they will mock him and bash on him really hard. Yet I think he is strong plus he has the Lord and he so far has been doing great. I will be watching his games for sure to see what the Lord will do. Shalom

[Glurtch]

Praise be to God. God doesn't care so much about a football game but that his name is glorified. And it is being glorified through this young man.
